Chinese Dramas To Watch in 2025 (Masterpost)
Jump to a table:
We put together this page of Chinese dramas to watch at first for our own sakes, because we realized that there’s no sticky resource on the topic in English.
So here, we made our tables of upcoming Chinese dramas public in case it helps anyone else. (And if you’re looking for its K-drama counterpart, go here for the masterpost of Korean Dramas to Watch in 2025!) We do our best to update this page weekly, so that everything’s as timely as possible. We also very unfortunately do not have all the time in the world to watch dramas, so there’s a chance that one or two might be missing. If there are any shows that you don’t see on here, however, please reach out to us at hello@thedramameter.com and we’ll make sure to add it 🙂
Every table is searchable and sortable, so do also feel free to use the search bar to find your favorite actor, actress, or show!
C-Dramas Currently Airing in January
These are the Chinese dramas to watch right now, as we speak. We added a column on whether or not you can watch these Chinese dramas on Netflix, YouTube, or Viki (specific to the US region).

Upcoming Chinese Dramas
There’s no other way to put it: Chinese broadcast networks are kind of bad at announcing upcoming C-dramas and deciding release dates for them! Because they notoriously change air dates with short notice and drop dramas with little warning, we tried to wrangle it all together in this table, where we collect the rumblings and rumors on when exactly a drama will air. You can probably expect all of the upcoming Chinese dramas below to have a release date that’s 60-80% on the way to being firmly set in stone.
This one’s a long list, so you can flip between pages using the buttons above and below the table.

Chinese Dramas In Production
Of course, there’s also always a huge backlog of shows that are about to be filmed, in the process of filming, or in post-production.
Here are dramas that are currently in the production process. Unless they die in development hell (or are blacklisted), you can probably expect to see them on your screen within a year or so.
